madExcept.obj not found when building in Team CIty

Question

I build a C++ Builder 2010 project using Team City and noticed that I got issues when adding madExcept. The build complains about not finding MADEXCEPT.OBJ. My guess is that the standard include paths added in the C++ Builder 2010 IDE aren't propagated to the Team City build. Since the .cbproj files conatins no reference to where to locate madExcept the build fails. Am I right and how do I best rectify this? Building in the IDE on the Build Agent works fine and even using the RAD Studio Command Prompt, just when Team City is doing the build it fails. The thing that makes it extra strange is that there is no variable set when using RAD Studio Command Prompt that points to madExcept either, but it still works.

Answer 1

The issue seems to be that madExcept and the entire mad suite adds references to the include files and libraries to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\CodeGear\BDS\7.0\...

Since the TeamCity build agent runs as another user this information is not available to it.
